Entropy
• Introduce the thermodynamic property called Entropy (S)
• Entropy is defined using the Clausius inequality

In this Chapter, we will:
Entropy (cont’d)
Since entropy is a thermodynamic property, it has fixed values at a fixed thermodynamic states. Hence, the change, S, is determined by the initial and final state. BUT..
The change is = only for a Reversible Process

Increase of Entropy Principle
Implications:
•Entropy, unlike energy, is non-conservative since it is always increasing.
•The entropy of the universe is continuously increasing, in other words, it is becoming disorganized and is approaching chaotic.
• The entropy generation is due to the presence of irreversibilities. Therefore, the higher the entropy generation the higher the irreversibilities and, accordingly, the lower the efficiency of a device since a reversible system is the most efficient system.
• The above is another statement of the second law
Entropy change
Entropy Transfer
(due to heat transfer)
Entropy Generation
The principle states that for an isolated Or a closed adiabatic Or System + Surroundings
A process can only take place such that Sgen 0 where Sge = 0 for a reversible process only And Sge can never be les than zero.
Second Law & Entropy Balance
(YAC- Ch. 6-4)• Increase of Entropy Principle is another way of stating the Second Law of Thermodynamics:
Second Law : Entropy can be created but NOT destroyed
(In contrast, the first law states: Energy is always conserved)
•Note that this does not mean that the entropy of a system cannot be reduced, it can. • However, total entropy of a system + surroundings cannot be reduced
• Entropy Balance is used to determine the Change in entropy of a system as follows: Entropy change = Entropy Transfer + Entropy Generation where,
Entropy change = S = S2 - S1
Entropy Transfer = Transfer due to Heat (Q/T) + Entropy flow due to mass flow (misi – mese) Entropy Generation = Sgen 0
For a Closed System: S2 - S1 = Qk /Tk + Sgen In Rate Form: dS/dt = Qk /Tk + Sgen For an Open System (Control Volume):
Similar to energy and mass conservation, the entropy balance equations can be simplified Under appropriate conditions, e.g. steady state, adiabatic….

Entropy Generation Example
Show that heat can not be transferred from the low-temperature sink
to the high-temperature source based on the increase of entropy
principle.
Source
800 K
Sink
500 K
Q=2000 kJ
S(source) = 2000/800 = 2.5 (kJ/K) S(sink) = -2000/500 = -4 (kJ/K)
Sgen= S(source)+ S(sink) = -1.5(kJ/K) < 0
It is impossible based on the entropy increase principle
Sgen0, therefore, the heat can not transfer from low-temp. to high-temp. without external work input
• If the process is reversed, 2000 kJ of heat is transferred from the source to the sink, Sgen=1.5 (kJ/K) > 0, and the process can occur according to the second law
• If the sink temperature is increased to 700 K, how about the entropy generation? S(source) = -2000/800 = -2.5(kJ/K)
S(sink) = 2000/700 = 2.86 (kJ/K)
Sgen= S(source)+ S(sink) = 0.36 (kJ/K) < 1.5 (kJ/K)
Entropy Change
• Property diagrams (T-s and h-s diagrams)
– From the definition of the entropy, it is known that Q=TdS during a reversible process.
– Hence the total heat transfer during such a process is given by Qreversible = TdS
• Therefore, it is useful to consider the T-S diagram for a reversible process involving heat transfer
On a T-S diagram, the area under the process curve represents the heat transfer for a reversible process.

Example
Show a Carnot cycle on a T-S diagram and identify the heat transfer at both the high and low temperatures, and the work output from the cycle.

TdS (
Gibbs
) Equations
• Since, the area under the T-s line is equal to the heat transfer for a reversible process, it would be useful to have a relationship between Temperature and Entropy to obtain the heat transfer,T.
• Such a relationship exists for a closed system containing a pure,
compressible substance undergoing a reversible process
dU = Qrev - Wrev = TdS - PdV
=> TdS = dU + PdV or Tds = du + pdv ( per unit mass)
• This is the well-known Gibbs equation
• Alternatively, eliminate du by using the definition of enthalpy, h = u + pv => dh = du + pdv + vdp, => du + pdv = dh – vdp
Tds = du + pdv
Comments Regarding theTdS Equations
Equations relate the entropy change of a system to other
properties, such as enthalpy (h), internal energy (u), pressure
and volume.
• Hence, even though T-ds relations were derived for a
reversible process,
they are valid for any process, reversible
or irreversible
.
• They are applicable for closed or open systems.
Example – Application of Tds relations
• Consider steam undergoing a phase transition from liquid to vapor at a constant temperature of 20°C. Determine the entropy change sfg=sg-sf using the Gibbs equations and compare the value to that read directly from the thermodynamic table.

Entropy Change of an Incompressible Substance
(YAC:6-8)
• For most liquids and all solids, the density does not change appreciably as pressure changes, hence dv 0.
• Gibbs equation states that Tds = du+pdv
Tds = du where du = CdT, for an incompressible substance and Cp=Cv=C is a function of temperature only.
• Therefore, ds = du/T = C dT/T

Entropy Change of Ideal Gases – Special Cases
The dependence of specific heats on temperature makes the integration more complex.However, for certain cases, one can make simplifying assumptions.
Case 1: If specific heats are assumed constant, integration is simplified:
Note: The above is strictly true for monatomic gases, e.g.He, Ar
It is fairly accurate if the temperature difference is small.
Case 2: Calculate the specific heat at an average temperature, Tavg, and assume it to be constant. This also allows the specific heat to be taken out of the integral
Note:
This approximation is generally fairly accurate if the temperature difference is not too large, usually good if T < few hundred degrees.
Strictly speaking, one should look at the temp. dependence of specific heats for the particular substance to evaluate the validity of this approximation.
